Philippines was hit by its sixth deadly typhoon in a month
SINGAPORE - An unusual cluster of typhoons in the West Pacific and a series of powerful hurricanes in the Atlantic are raising questions about the impact that climate change is having on tropical storm s across the globe.
Higher sea surface temperatures speed up evaporation and provide additional "fuel" for tropical cyclones, boosting rainfall and wind speeds, they say. "It is rare to see a cluster of four tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific at the same time," said Feng Xiangbo, a tropical storm researcher at Britain's University of Reading.
"However, more research is required to assess the contribution of climate change to the chance occurrence of the multiple tropical cyclones and the longer tropical cyclone season," he added. Since 2019, warmer temperatures have driven average wind speeds up by 18 miles per hour and pushed three hurricanes into the highest Category 5, the study said.
